To our overseas friends I have a question...
Have your gas/fuel prices been rising like ours here in the US?




Yep and as a consequence, directly or indirectly so has everything else it seems!
For example used to cost around £35 a couple of year ago to fill the tank on the car, now looking at around £55. Other essentials like gas, electric and that combined with poor recent harvests, basic foods have gone up by a similar amount also. And of course on top of that there's the mortgage/ credit crisis to boot, it's not a pretty picture.
Think most of us will be watching the bills and looking at alternatives sooner or later...

Sometimes it takes a whole tank full of fuel before you think straight
